  • Title: [Changes in the functional activity of the sympathetico-adrenal system after correction of electrolyte metabolism in patients with hypertension].
    Author: Bakhshaliev AV, Gadzhiev RF.
    Journal: Klin Med (Mosk); 1989 May; 67(5):64-7. PubMed ID: 2770212.
    Abstract:
    Parameters of the sympathoadrenal system were studied in 81 patients with I-II stages essential hypertension. Their changes were analysed depending on the disease stage; study also included the interrelation between electrolyte metabolism, and sympathoadrenal and renin-aldosterone systems. Moderate consumption of common salt in "salt-sensitive" patients caused a significant decrease in the activity of the sympathoadrenal system, while in "salt nonsensitive", patients with paradoxical reaction this correction of salt regimen of nutrition activated the sympathoadrenal system. Thus, use of this non-pharmacological method of treatment with limitation of common salt in essential hypertension patients requires a differential approach, depending on "salt sensitivity".
